1921 Mount Dora

Amazing food ! The atmosphere is very nice and cozy, open kitchen, high tables, amazing world wine list. I took a pate de campagne, it was delicious and as good as a terrine de campagne in France and very plentiful. I took a lamb shank that was excellent with an amazing sauce, and my wife took a snapper with an delicious akra sauce. Even ice cream are very good, expresso cafe. All the food is amazing and delicious and gourmet food. My best restaurant in 6 years in the USA, I will come back for sure !

I wandered out to Mount Dora one day, for an excellent outdoor local art festival, and I saw this restaurant that I had been hearing good things about for years. I asked them and they didn't really have a wait around 3PM, so I thought to myself, it is time. I get out of the sweltering sun, and seated in the neato bar area, and get to work. I wanted an app, but I didn't want to get anything too big, so I saw Tiffany's Handmade Yeast Rolls (with Whipped Florida Sugar Cane Butter & Maldon Sea Salt), and knew it was the app for me. Oh so soft. A fluffy roll, fluffier than a Hawaiian, for that really zingy butter. Sweet and salty at the same time. A really impressive app. The mains I ate I cannot find on the online menu of the restaurant anymore, which is a good thing. Seasonal menus don't keep things the same for very long. That's another level of wanting to try and put your best restaurant foot forward. So while you can't order it right now, I got the Wood-Grilled Tilefish Collar (with Charred Spring Vegetable Slaw & Fennel Pollen Tartar Sauce), and wow, it was fantastic. The big mess of a collar was so charred and so moist and juicy. Eating it off the bone like that makes you think that you're eating ribs. Solid showing; one of the best showings of seafood I've seen in Central Florida. I also got to try the Lake Meadow Naturals Fried Chicken (with Ben's Buttermilk Biscuit, Strawberry Hot Sauce & Asher Bleu). Very nicely fried, with a ton of seasoning in the breading. The crumbly biscuit held up well against the giant cutlet, and the hot sauce was very southern. It was hot and a little sweet, I was a fan. I hope they bring it back for other dishes in the future. Overall, there had been a lot of hype for me about this place for the past few years that I've known about it. And the hype was real. I recommend coming out here and trying it out. You don't be disappointed.

We had a great time. Food was delicious. We had the cheese appetizer which was amazing... came w buttered artisan bread & blueberry preserves. Then we had the fish collar (forget which fish) w coleslaw. And also the chicken w collards & mashed potatoes. All from the happy hour menu. Service was attentive & great. Happy hour was fabulous overall. Highly recommend.

I got the Dutch Baby Pancake entree and it was so tasty! My go-to brunch order is always pancakes/waffle/french toast w/ bacon & an egg! I’ve always wanted to try Dutch pancakes & this did not disappoint. I wish there was a little bit of acid to cut through the savoury bacon & sausage and sweet buttery pancake but I think my time in northern China makes me crave vinegary goodness in all my dishes 😋😂 My favourite dish was the croquettes which had the best crunch that lead to a sweet & Smokey tender bite of bbq chicken 😍🔥 the root slaw added a fresh note to compliment this rich dish. I of course saw ice cream on the menu and had to get an affogato which I believe never fails 😘 My second favourite dish from our table was their pork belly. It had great crunch and I loved their addition of cherries to add a nice tartness to the dish. 🐷 I also made sure to feature their oysters because even though I didn’t eat any - who else has someone in their life who cannot get enough of them? 🙋🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Overall, the atmosphere, artwork, and food created for a wonderful brunch and I cannot wait to find the time to try them out for dinner ✨
